The co-writer of Dumb and Dumber, Bennett Yellin is far more than a guy who can make the masses giggle until they burst. The writer of a slew of other comedies, Yellin may have gotten on the map when Dumb and Dumber became a sensation but he was actually bottoming out on crystal meth while his comedic talents were entertaining the masses. It wasn’t until he got sober, cleaned up his past and started living life on a pink cloud that he got that career back on track. The long-awaited Dumb and Dumber sequel is coming out this fall, while Yellin enjoys his 12th year of sobriety and anticipates “marching forth” (his sober anniversary is March 4th) next year. In this episode, he and I discuss why it’s not a good idea to date your drug dealer, what it’s like to be a lazy meth head and being an Orthodox Jewish addict, among many other topics.
